- PANIGEL, RAPHAEL MEIR BEN JUDAH (1804–1893), chief rabbi of
Jerusalem. Panigel was born in Bulgaria, but when he was three years old
his parents, who were well-to-do, emigrated to Ereẓ Israel. In 1828 and
in 1863 he went as an emissary of Jerusalem to the countries of North
Africa, remaining there on both occasions for several years. In 1845 he
went to Italy as an emissary of Hebron. While in Rome he succeeded in
making peace between two rival factions in the community. He was also
received with great respect at the Vatican by Pope Gregory
XVI. In 1866 he supported ludwig august frankl in
his endeavor to establish a modern school in Jerusalem. In 1880 he was
appointed rishon le-zion , and in 1890 the Turkish authorities
appointed him ḥakham bashi (head of the Jewish community of
Ereẓ Israel). He was acceptable to all the communities and esteemed by
the authorities. He was the author of Lev Marpe (the initials
of his name; 1887), talmudic novellae, responsa, and homilies. Some of
his novellae were published in the Jerusalem Me'assef and in
Torah mi-Ẓiyyon. His other works have remained in manuscript.
